The Haunting of Walker Pond

Frankie Wilkins is excited to be a Leader-in-Training at Camp Asticou. There, she learns about The Bride of Rippowam, a local legend which tells of a love story that ended in tragedy. Weird happenings have occurred at the camp ever since, which Frankie realizes are urgent messages from the bride. With their campers in danger, Frankie and the rest of the LITs become determined to help her find peace. But are they willing to break almost every camp rule to do so, and will they find out what the bride is after—and why—before tragedy strikes again?
